upload speed testing ? dsl lines

[blowrabbit 0]

I have a situation where I am trying to use a ge symdec-4 remotely and its a hog on bandwidth. My dsl line from quest is suppost to be at almost T1, at one mg per minute [upload]. This is at the actual site. I have tested it at the site with a laptop that rated the speed some what close to what Qwest says it is. But once I get to the central station the download tests out at less than half of the speed at the remote site? The central station downloads at 6mb's so its not the problem. This occurs at 3 different remote sites ? With wavelet its fine, showing a download speed of 30 to 85 kps, but trying to use symnav's mpeg-4 it max's out at 120kps? The site are supposed to be able to upload almost 1mg?? Oh yea its a static IP address on dsl at all three sites and broadband at the station? any ideas ??
